HOWEVER, what happens if Romania and Holland draw in the final game?

That would mean Italy, Holland AND France would all be on 4 points. and our head to heads would be going round like a triangle, we beat france, france beat holland, holland thrashed us. goal diff maybe?
Head to Head, Goal diff, coefficients, coin toss. There is a page from the official rule book a few pages back for more info.

    I don't think Holland will lose to Romania even if they win tonight.
    Yeah, Holland will play relaxed, their second team is consisted of good players that can beat Romania or take a draw at least.
    The point is in Holland's motivation and their wishes. If the Dutch let Romanians win then France and Italy will be eliminated and i'm sure every dutchman would prefer Romania in the knock outs as a potential opponent in the semis than France or Italy.

    But this way of thinking is typical for us in the Balkans, for the Italians and the other southerns. I don't think the Dutch will play dirty and let Romanians win. They have pride and they'll play for it.

    Exactly. The best bet is to hope France doesn't wake up tonight and Holland truck the rest of the competition.
    but there's always the risk then that Holland don't put forward their strongest squad against Romania, I think that's the point the others are trying to make. We'd rather see France win tonight, so that Holland MUST get their best team together and win against Romania, as opposed to taking any risk. Lets be honest, Romania aren't bad, they've done one over both Italy and France, it wouldn't surprise me if they did one over Holland, and even more they'd probably win agains a lacklustre Holland surely.

    It seem that this game is going to be a more physical, and why o why Makele didn't get yellow card. In the game against Romania he also deserved red with his rough tackles and complaintments.

    Btw. the same thing is with Ballack.

    :D

    He is.

    Good to see mercenary THURAM sucking balls again. That's his life.
    I'm actually in two minds about him. He's a Greek tragedy when he's trying to finish a chance, but as headless chicken he's very useful. Even scores the occasional goal like this one. Then again he plays for pool so he's asking for it.
